This is why I fucking love New York already.
Telepathe’s Dance Mother is one of the most stark, striking electronic albums I’ve heard this year (or any year, really). It’s layer upon layer of percussive instrumentation and voice, sometimes a scream and sometimes a whisper but most often a chant, a mantra, hypnotic and beckoning and oh my god yes I said yes Telepathe yes.

The number of people who I know that are all “oh, I went to college and ate polenta with Lauren Flax” is like, well, ok, at like two or three at this point, but still, Lauren does something with this remix of Dance Mother’s kickoff track that strips the anger and ups the brooding.
Also, check out the awesome, stripped of anger and up’d of brooding Fader Telepathe Mixtape.
Dance Mother is available on CD/LP (the CD, I think, comes with some nifty remixes). Put your hard-earned dollars on this record, it’ll spit ‘em all right back at you and you’ll love it.
